2 Ways to Save on Discount Airfare
Two ways that you can save money on discount airfare nowadays are to book your air travel online and to book your flights early enough that you get the lowest prices available.

Search and Click
It may sound complicated, but it’s really as simple as searching and clicking, the same way you searched for and clicked on this article that you’re reading right now. Your best discount airfare is a search and a click away!

First, you’ll need to start searching the travel sites online for your final destination. There’s a Kayak search on the right sidebar of this blog which is a good first travel search for sure. Kayak does a fine job of sorting and displaying all of your discount airfare options, and you’ll be well educated in discount airfare prices when your search is over.

Do not purchase your airline tickets from the first website that you search on however, even if they are offering you ridiculously low prices. I strongly encourage you to continuing searching on other websites before making your final discount airfare purchase. There are some Hotwire links on the right sidebar of this blog as well so visit them next.

Now, let’s take this online search for discount airfare just a little bit further. If you want the best savings, search for early morning or late evening flights. These flights have a lower demand so the airlines usually offer these tickets at a reduced.  Also, when searching for a flight click the “travel dates are flexible” option.


How Far in Advance?
When it comes to booking airfare in advance, the main question that comes up is “how far in advance?”
Terrific question, and it varies depending on whether it is an international, domestic, or local flight. It will also differ depending on the time of year that you are traveling.

The general rule however is this…

Book your flights at least 30 days in advance if international, 21 days if domestic, and 14 days if local. These are merely educated suggestions, but it is safe to say that booking discount airfare well in advance will net you the lowest prices.

One final suggestion…

Using the above tips will not only to get you the best airfare possible but can be modified to get you the best lodging and car rental prices too – often in a single package!
